Rose Garden
During the restoration of Boschendal in the 1980’s, the internationally acclaimed rose garden was established on the eastern slopes of the grounds.
Designed by Gwen Fagan, an authority on old gardens in the Cape, the garden features many of the original rose bushes that were cultivated.
This space is ideal for a beautiful wedding ceremony or picnic style function.

Eat & Drink
The Cape Dutch farms were historically renowned for their warm welcome and generous hospitality. What crowned this welcome was the Cape table, laden with wholesome dishes made from ingredients from the farm’s werf and fields.
Accommodation
Guest accommodation is a recent addition to the farm with luxury accommodation ranging from the historical Herbert Baker designed Rhodes Cottage to beautifully restored farm labourer cottages. With emphasis on stylish simplicity the guest cottages are authentic, rural yet contemporary in character.
